Grangegorman
It was hugely disappointing that the Government failed to include any capital spending for the Grangegorman Development in their 2012-2016 Capital programme. The capital required is only €80million and it would have led to the redevelopment of the 70 acre campus, 1000s of jobs and a worldclass Education, Health and Community Facilities. As it is […]
Small & Medium Enterprise
Small and medium enterprises provide local employment and are making a very important contribution to our economic recovery. It was disappointing that the recent government budget didn’t do more to support SMEs and I believe Fianna Fail needs to try and push this policy agenda. John McGuinness TD is Fianna Fails spokesperson on Enterprise and […]

National Paediatric Hospital
The decision of the Government to endorse the independent review of the Mater site as the best location for the new National Paediatric Hospital, and the Cabinet’s approval for the project to now proceed to the planning stage is very good news for parents and children all around the country. This is a vital project […]
Taxi Regulation
I believe Taxi regulations should be changed to prohibit convicted criminals from operating taxis. The revelations regarding the taxi industry in the Prime Time Investigates programme point to significant issues of public concern. The most worrying was the fact that 6,000 taxi drivers or one in every seven taxi drivers has a criminal record. This is […]
